TBA has a stingy defense, could be a tough match up.

Yeah, their defense is salty but I still think we can move the ball pretty easily on them.

Hey Guys! How's it going? Just checking in for the afternoon. Pretty rough night but husband got me some good medicine. Feeling a tad better.

Did you do the saline rinse?

Interesting Kentucky stats to look at. Big difference when they play at home vs away.

Passing:
Home (6 games)
59-percent / 1,618 yards / 9 TDs to 1 INT
Away (3 games)
53-percent / 673 yards / 4 TDs to 4 INTs

Rushing:
Home (6 games)
1,127 yards / 187 per game / 15 TDs
Away (3 games)
254 yards / 84.7 per game / 0 TDs

*Away games were against Florida, LSU, and Missouri

Thanks for the numbers. I posted yesterday that Kentucky is a completely different team on the road. Couple this with Butch's record coming off of a bye, and I like where this matchup is headed.

Well then it's not going to be K-State hopefully. We would have a hard time hanging wth them this year.

There no way a top 3 big 12 team faces a bottom 6 sec team. That would be a terrible match-up.

Jackson had a couple of false starts. It seems like he could definitely use the rest.

Gilliam is winning over a lot of fans. Isn't there an award for the best walk-on in the country or something like that? He deserves it.

The Burlseworth trophy is exactly that.

1.Win out and finish 8-5
2. Sign another monster top 5 class on NSD
3.Bring back 95% of the two deep
4.Beat the brakes off UAB in Nashville to kickoff 2015
5.Top 15 matchup vs Oklahoma in Neyland for week 2
6.Beat OU in a primetime non conference game and in the process, announce to the rest of the CFB world that the Vols are BACK

Agree with all of this. The CFB world will know the Vols are back next fall. As for me? I think we already are back. I fully expect us to steamroll through the rest of our schedule, provided we remain healthy.

It's all about that moolah, Benji's, Franklin's, and that gualla fetti UT brings

...for Kansas State. We will torch them.

Go Vols!

No, decided against it. I read about it online and you're right it sounded painful. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Phil Steele

Anyone want to go to Houston?
Steele has us in the Texas Bowl against K-State.

Yes, please.

While I like this projection, it's more likely Music City for Vols and the Texas Bowl selecting A&M.

Duke - Vols in Nashville would be fun tho!

Only painful the first rinse, but you feel loads better afterwards.

That would be an awesome matchup, and the media would love it with the Cutcliffe ties.

Yeah, I may try it next time, I'd say it works good.

 

[MockingVol]

I don't really like the matchup. I like Cut winning and I despise us losing, not too mention Duke is pretty damn good. I want to play that ****ty UNC team or Vtech so we can get payback on one of our two last bowl game losses.

It actually sounds like a pretty cool matchup to me when you put it like that.

Just for laughs, here's some quotes from a FF regular (not going to include a name). These were posted over the last few weeks:

"All I do is shake my head when I think of jones. if I didn't know any better I would think he has never been a head coach before. he has done a horrible job this year. He is on Dooley's level.

"when jones is fired in 2 or 3 years we will still be hearing these lame excuses. its just a matter of time before people realize jones doesn't get it."

"losing record is expected at UT. isn't anybody listening it is part of jones process."

"because we are going backwards and the coaching staff sucks. no matter what process jones is talking about."

I wouldn't be against either of those matchups. I tend to agree, a win would be best, no matter who. I'm not a SOS guy right now. Couple of years from now, yes, but now, give me wins.

Well according to some people in the RF, its understandable and a fans right to say those things. Its not just the FF.

I don't even think about going over there anymore.

 

[WTNVol2]

That is hilarious.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

We haven't arrived yet. We still have a lot of work to do. I'm pumped and that win was awesome, but the next two games are going to be a battle.

If our defense can get back to early season form, which seems reasonable to expect with the bye week, we could be in for a really good run. It it can't, then we are going to be scratching and clawing just like we have been for the next couple games.

We have the potential to really overwhelm some teams though if our defense makes some plays. There isn't a defense left on the schedule that is going to bottle up our offense for long.

8 wins is in reach. Didn't think that would really be a possibility after the Florida loss. This season just got a whole lot more fun.

we shouldn't struggle to get 7 wins next year.

8 or 9 wins should be the expectation.

That is hilarious.
